This begins a series of posts which relate to the fall of our modern Roman empire, the United States. The US's allies and dependents will also be severely effected. For example, if the US economy crashed today, what would China do since they are an export economy, largely to the US and other "first world" nations? Thus with the US's crash, China would crash and the effect would be severely felt around the world.
We are entering a new Dark Ages.
Nobody thought Rome would perish. It was the backbone of western civilization, but empires inevitably come and go. When the Western Roman Empire declined and fell, from the 300s to 400s, it threw the European world into darkness. Culture almost disappeared, no longer could Rome be depended on for trade and food sources, peoples had to find their way back to their local roots and learn to survive without her.
The United States will collapse. We are not the thousand year empire, we will probably crash before 250 years is up. Right now, we are beginning to feel the effects of high oil prices. Gasoline prices are over $4.00 and will likely hit $4.50 / gallon in a couple months. Food prices are skyrocketing as a result, small businesses are folding. Along with the mortgage crisis, these are hints that the empire is not as stable as we supposed it was (our memories are notoriously short). Ways to mediate this crisis are the problem of the next president but it will inevitably progress harsher and harsher.
So what we need to do is to insulate ourselves from this problem. This means keeping a buffer of food so that our food costs are evened out (and cheapened!) and, in case of a severe famine, we can survive until we can get our own food production (also an ideal). This is my series on what is going wrong with America and the rest of the "modern world" and what I am doing and what you can do to both fight it and save yourself from it's inevitable crash.
When it crashes, many thousands of people will die and chaos will ensue. We need to band together and strengthen our local communities in order to provide for our own needs. May God have mercy on us.
I do not know if this end of the global empire is going to be the end of the world, it will certainly be the end of the world as we know it. God has His own timings. However, know that the end of the world and Christ's triumphant return will happen so be prepared.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; ' And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ' For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
-- Rev 6:15-17 (KJV)

In Italy we pay €5,84/gallon of gasoline (approximately $9,15!!). The banks own industries, television, newpapers and our first minister (Silvio Berlusconi) owns a half of italian television (the other half is the state television, indirectly controlled by the same person). Most italians don't know nothing about the real state of economy or about the fact that energy crisis is not solvable with nuclear power plants or by burning garbage (do you know about Naples and garbage emergency?). Italians don't know that burning garbage is a damage for the health, for the nature, etc. but our government says it'safe, cheap and efficient.
I don't know the inner situation of USA, but I'm reading this book: Entropy, a new world view. It was written by Jeremy Rifkin in 1980, but I think it's still topical and prophetical!
